The ancient cold world is a very, very cold spiritual world. This world is completely covered with ice and snow. There is no trace of green. There is ice and snow everywhere. If you put a cup of boiling water outside, it will turn into ice in just a few breaths. .
Such a harsh place is obviously not suitable for ordinary people to survive, but for monks, the strong ice-attribute aura here is their favorite.
However, although this world is boundless, there are countless dangers hidden in it, whether it is extremely powerful monsters or the sudden appearance of the wind, they are all terrifying existences that can kill Nascent Soul cultivators instantly. Therefore, there are not many monks in this world, only a few thousand, living in a castle made of ice condensed with mana.
This ice city is built on a spiritual mountain with a height of thousands of feet. It is not large in area, only ten miles in radius, but the defense measures are very strict. The countless layers of formations make it impregnable, even for monks in the integration stage. , may not be able to break through this place. Of course, these protections are mainly established to resist the terrifying monsters or natural disasters that may appear at any time.
The owner of the ice castle is an ice-based cultivator. He usually hides in the secret room under the castle and practices hard. Everything outside is managed by his son.
The ice castle is open to the outside world, and they welcome monks from other places to live here and find treasures from this world. Because when these monks settle down, they can bring them considerable benefits, and they may also be able to find some high-end materials. According to regulations, the city lord has the right to purchase them first, which is also a very advantageous place.
Now, Song Zhong, Han Bing'er, Master Xuan Yuan and others, who finally escaped to heaven, settled in a courtyard here. This is the courtyard specially prepared by the city lord for foreign monks.
After the battle that day, Master Xuanyuan suffered heavy losses and escaped under the cover of Song Zhong and Han Bing'er. Then they rotated dozens of spiritual worlds one after another, and kept changing their identities. Only after they were sure that no one was following them, the three came here and met up with the two late Nascent Soul monks who had been waiting here for a long time.
One of these two people is a fire-type magic cultivator named Lieyan Taoist, and the other is an earth-type sword cultivator named Shi Jian. Among them, Taoist Lieyan is a friend of Master Xuan Yuan, the guy who got Taoist Thunder's treasure map. Ze Shijian was the helper invited by Taoist Lieyan.
Since Master Xuan Yuan came here with serious injuries, although several people were anxious, they could only stop and wait for Master Xuan Yuan to recover from his injuries. Otherwise, one Yuan Ying Dzogchen would be missing. With the monk's help, they couldn't get Taoist Thunder's cave.
…
In the blink of an eye, Song Zhong and the others had stayed in the ancient cold world for half a year. On this day, Master Xuan Yuan, who had been recuperating in seclusion, finally recovered from his injuries and came out. Taoist Lieyan was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly called everyone for a meeting.
In the living room, five people were sitting together. The thin and black Taoist Lieyan first raised his hands and smiled at Master Xuan Yuan: "Congratulations, brother, for finally recovering from the injury!"
"Congratulations!" Others followed suit.
"Thank you, thank you!" Master Xuan Yuan said with a somewhat embarrassed smile, "I feel ashamed to say that I wasted everyone's time just to wait for me!"
"It doesn't matter, it's just a few months!" Shi Jian, who was wearing a yellow robe, immediately said with a smile. Although he had a bright smile on his face, both Song Zhong and Han Bing'er could see that he didn't mean what he said.
Taoist Lieyan didn't wait for everyone to be polite, and immediately changed the topic and said: "Okay, okay, everyone, we are all friends, not outsiders, so let's not be so polite. Let's talk business first!"
"Okay, okay!" Everyone nodded after hearing this.
Upon seeing this, Taoist Lieyan could not help but nod with satisfaction, and then said: "Everyone, my treasure map shows that the place we are going to is at least two million miles away from here. In this damn spiritual world, we Flying consumes a lot of energy, and there are many dangers on the way, so we must leave behind the energy to adapt. Therefore, I initially estimate that it will take at least two or three months to get there, and this does not include battles and so on. accidents!"
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but frown. They had stayed in this ancient cold world for more than half a year. After asking around, they had gained some understanding of this world. First of all, it is worth mentioning that this world is definitely full of crises.
The two most terrifying things are the monsters. The harsh environment here has created countless kinds of terrifying monsters. Sixth-level monsters equivalent to Nascent Soul cultivators are nothing here, and seventh-level or even eighth-level monsters are not uncommon. If you accidentally bump into a powerful guy, your entire army will be wiped out.
The other is the extremely sudden extreme cold wind. This is a very abnormal wind. Its sound is no different from the ordinary wind here, so it is difficult to distinguish them from the sound or the way it blows snowflakes. However, this kind of extremely cold wind is extremely terrifying. It contains extremely terrifying cold air. If it is blown up, a leisurely Nascent Soul monk will be immediately frozen into an ice sculpture, even if he is protected by a high-level magic weapon.
In fact, a large part of the reason why there are so many protective formations outside the ice castle is because of the extremely cold wind.
Due to its concealment and powerful lethality, the extremely cold wind has become the most terrifying killer in the ancient cold world. At least half of the monks who died in this world were killed by it. These people died without knowing how they died.
In fact, the ancient cold world is rich in spiritual energy, and no one has collected it for many years, so there are many treasures. However, it is because of the terrible extreme cold wind that very few monks come to this world. Only those guys who are too poor to take the blame will take the risk to vote here. If they succeed, they will definitely make a fortune. If they fail, they will die here. Master Xuanyuan and others belong to this kind of casual cultivators who are poor and have to work hard.
After Song Zhong heard about the dangers here, he even thought about quitting. I'm not willing to take such a huge risk just for that little benefit. However, Han Bing'er disagreed. She was very confident in her Xuanji Ice Soul Divine Sword and believed that it could withstand the extremely cold wind. And maybe you can get some benefits.
Han Bing'er has a strong nature, but unfortunately she has always been able to live under Song Zhong's wings, which makes her feel very uncomfortable. Now that she finally has the opportunity to obtain the treasure in person, she naturally doesn't want to give up. She also wanted to taste the wonderful experience of searching the caves of ancient monks.
Since Han Bing'er wanted to go, Song Zhong couldn't bear to go against her wishes. In addition, he also had great confidence in the ultra-ninth-level Xuanji Ice Soul Divine Sword. If a treasure of this level could not stop the extremely cold wind, , then I’m afraid there’s nothing in the world that can resist that thing. Moreover, Song Zhong also has an even more perverted Big Bronze Bell in his hand. This thing is becoming more and more powerful. After being promoted to Nascent Soul, Song Zhong learned a new ability from the Big Bronze Bell, which is to swallow the universe. .
Once this move is launched, the big bronze bell will produce a terrifying suction force, sucking the target into it. If the sound attack is launched again, the power of the sound attack can be increased dozens of times. With such a powerful precious body protection, Song Zhong naturally has nothing to fear.
However, Song Zhong and Han Binger are not afraid, but it does not mean that others are not afraid. At least Shi Jian and Master Xuanyuan changed their expressions. Although they knew there was a treasure map, they didn't know the specific location. They thought that they could only go out for a month at most, which would be enough. But according to Taoist Lieyan, I am afraid that I will have to stay outside for at least three months.
Know that the longer you stay outside, the greater the risk. Generally speaking, no one dares to stay outside for more than a month, and nine out of ten such guys will die. So after hearing Taoist Lieyan's words, Master Xuanyuan and Shi Jian couldn't help but beat their hearts, wondering if it was worth taking such a risk this time.
When Taoist Lieyan saw this, he immediately knew what they were worried about, and hurriedly comforted him: "You don't have to worry, in fact, I am fully prepared this time, you see!"
As he said that, Taoist Lie Yan took out an ancient mirror with a diameter of one foot and said with a smile: "I made this mirror based on the records on the treasure map. It has a function, that is, it can mark a hundred miles radius." The extremely cold wind inside, this way, we can avoid them and never be troubled by such things!"
"Ah!" When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up. Shi Jian immediately said in surprise: "With this treasure to help us, we will be worry-free!"
"Yes, Jihan Gangfeng is the strongest killer in the ancient cold world. Without its threat, we only need to pay attention to those monsters!" Master Xuanyuan also said with excitement.
"Haha, those monsters are even better!" Taoist Lieyan smiled calmly: "Don't we have ice-type monks this time? As long as she covers our breath with cold air, the ice-type monsters in this world will It’s hard for beasts to find us! This is exactly why I want my brother to find an ice monk!”
"Haha, brother, I really have a plan. I have found this ice-type monk for you. Finally, the important matter has not been delayed!" Master Xuanyuan immediately smiled boldly.
"That's right, I can rest assured that the person I'm looking for is just a Golden Core-level person, but it's more than enough to provide a hidden aura for the few of us!" Taoist Lieyan nodded.
Although this guy said it politely, his contempt for Han Bing'er was revealed in every word. This arrogant little girl turned pale with anger. If Song Zhong hadn't stopped her, she might have started a riot on the spot.
Taoist Lieyan ignored the annoyed Han Bing'er and just said lightly: "I have almost finished the information I have. Everyone should make more preparations based on this."
"Yes, although this place is small, it is well-equipped and has all the necessary things. It is just a little more expensive. However, for the sake of the overall plan, everyone should try to buy as many things as possible to be prepared!" Master Xuanyuan also followed.
"Understood!" Shi Jian nodded and said, "In that case, let's break up and prepare separately. How about we gather and set off early tomorrow morning?"
"Okay!" Several people nodded in agreement, and then dispersed.
…
Song Zhong and Han Bing'er also followed the others out. Although they were going to purchase things on the surface, they actually took this opportunity to talk secretly with their spiritual thoughts.
Han Bing'er first said angrily: "Brother, I don't think any of these people are good, especially that Taoist Lieyan who dares to despise us like this! You really shouldn't have stopped me. If I asked him to teach him a lesson, he would He must be more honest!”
"Haha, don't be angry, it's not worth being angry with this kind of person!" Song Zhong said, suddenly couldn't help but smile and said: "Besides, I actually think it's a good thing that we are being looked down upon!"
"A good thing?" Han Bing'er said in surprise: "Senior brother, why don't I understand what you said?"
"Hehe!" Song Zhongjiao said with a smile, "I don't think Taoist Lie Yan and Shi Jian are good guys. If we find the treasure, we can't guarantee that we won't have the intention to kill and seize the treasure. If we act too strong, maybe they will We will restrain ourselves. Then we will have no good excuse to turn against each other!"
After hearing this, Han Bing'er immediately couldn't laugh or cry, and then she smiled bitterly and said, "Senior brother, why do I feel like you are an insidious guy who pretends to be a pig and eats the tiger?"
"How can there be?" Song Zhong immediately denied: "Senior brother has a kind heart, so he gives them a chance to change their ways. If they seize it, I will naturally not kill people to seize treasures for a little thing. But If they can't withstand the temptation of their inner demons, oh no, I can only do justice to God!"
When Song Zhong spoke, he looked compassionate and pious, but after Han Bing'er saw it, she always had a strange feeling. In the end, she couldn't help laughing and scolding: "It's weird to believe you!"
Seeing that Han Bing'er didn't believe it, Song Zhong had no choice but to smile helplessly. Then, the two people put the matter aside and officially started the purchasing trip.
In order to show their weakness and cowardice, Song Zhong and Han Bing'er bought a lot of things, from fire jade stones for heating to various elixirs and emergency spells. They bought a lot of them and looked at the pile. They didn't feel distressed when the pile of spiritual stones were taken away, but others around them couldn't help but feel distressed.
…
Early the next morning, the five people gathered together and flew out of the ice castle and came to the world of ice and snow outside.
In the ancient cold world, there is no sun. It is daytime here all year round, so everyone does not have to worry about being too dark to see.
Since the high altitude of the Ancient Cold World is a place where extremely cold winds rage, no monks dare to fly with swords in the sky. They can only wield swords more than ten feet high close to the ground, and this greatly affects the flight speed. . Because they didn't dare to fly at full speed for fear of hitting an iceberg, which was no joke.
The icebergs in the ancient cold world have become harder than ordinary magic weapons due to hundreds of millions of years of freezing. Just the ordinary black ice here can be used to refine good ice elements. The magic weapon comes, which shows how rich the cultivation resources are in this ancient cold world.
Of course, flying close to the ground is not fast, but it also has another advantage, that is, you can search the ground more carefully.
The ancient cold world is sparsely populated, but produces many treasures. Some of them were exposed on the ground. The five people flew all the way over and found a lot of interesting things in just one day.
Master Xuanyuan found a piece of palm-sized ice jade, which is a good material for refining fifth-level ice magic weapons. Taoist Lieyan found a large piece of ten thousand years of cold iron ore, which can be refined into a lot of cold iron. Although it is not as valuable as the ten thousand years of ice jade, it is still a good thing.
The one who gained the best was Han Bing'er. She was indeed Bingxue's darling. In a place like the Ancient Cold World, her strength had improved a lot. In particular, the ability of spiritual exploration has increased several times, so much so that it can detect a hundred feet deep under the ice.
She had actually discovered the things in front of her a long time ago, but because she had to maintain an ice barrier and seal off the auras of several people, she moved a little slower. But there was an ice blue grass hidden under dozens of feet of ice, but only she discovered it.
After using the special ice method to take out the priceless ice blue grass, the eyes of everyone around him turned green.
You must know that ice blue grass is an extremely rare high-level spiritual grass. It only grows an inch for ten thousand years. The ice spiritual energy contained in it can be extracted and added to ice magic weapons. It can enhance the power of different levels of magic weapons according to different years. grade.
The ice blue grass in Han Bing'er's hand is a foot long, and it has obviously lived for a hundred thousand years. It is super high-quality, enough to upgrade an eighth-level ice magic weapon to a ninth-level one! Just based on this, it can definitely make those who have eighth-level ice magic weapons go crazy. Anyway, selling hundreds of thousands of high-grade spiritual stones is just like playing.
As poor casual cultivators, hundreds of thousands of spirit stones were definitely an astronomical figure for Taoist Lie Yan and Shi Jian. Both of them did not hide the lust in their eyes.
Shi Jian originally wanted to take action now, but Taoist Lieyan stopped him, winked hard, and said secretly: "A small impatience will ruin the big plan. They can't run away anyway, so why rush?"
Shi Jian understood immediately. He clearly realized that he still needed the help of Han Bing'er and Song Zhong. Without them, it would be difficult to find the cave. So now is definitely not the time to fall out. It's best to wait until the matter is settled before robbing, so that everything is safe.
Thinking of this, Shi Jian finally slowly withdrew his gaze, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said secretly: "Let you two idiots be proud for a while, and when you are done with it, humph, sooner or later, that thing will still be mine!"
